This thread unintentionally developed last week, from a thread about someone's personal accomplishments that made them feel good. The thread ended up talking about the little things that happened to posters that particular day that made them happy.
Because I liked the last thread so much, I am bringing it back in a purposely-created thread this time. Post the little things each day that made you smile. If you already posted, and something good happens again, make another post. Whatever it is that made you smile, no matter how little it may seem, is what this thread is about. I will start us off: I got a call this morning from Sallie Mae, who I am several months behind in paying my student loan. I have been unemployed for a few months; working some freelance computer training sessions for people while I study for my A+ computer certification. I explained my situation to the person from Sallie Mae when they called, and they forgave all my overdue payments and made my next payment due May 1st! I should have my A+ certification by then and a full-time job! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif) -------------------- Signatures are overrated.

I have tonight off. That's always worth a smile.
Also, I found out that the only one of my three bosses that actually does a good job is getting promoted, so good for him. --------------------  |

Had a great chinese lunch and some decent company for once. Great way to expand the mind as well as the abdominal walls.
Also, got a nice wave and some glances from a lady I have a bit of a crush on. Nothings gonna come of it, but it made me smile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) -------------------- Clearing out some old TFs and Mugenbine in my BST Thread. You know you want some of these.

In training this morning I was able to lift more weight than I had been able to before I injured my back in a motorbike accident and had my back operation last year.
Feel so good. This post has been edited by Reload: Mar 20 2008, 11:31 AM --------------------  |

Found out that the flash video (By the guys who work for Esurance) for Five Iron Frenzy's "Wizard Needs Food, Badly" was completed via random find on YouTube. Made me grin.
